ing arrived on tho 18th, Gen. Sherman was
ordered TO land ct some point below Eastporr
and cut tho Memphis and Charleston railroad
between Tuscunbie and Corinth. Passing
Pittsburg Landing, he learned that on a
former trip up the river Capt Gwin, of the
gunboat, found posted there Confederate
regiment tho Eighteenth Louisiana), and ac-
cordingly sent word 10 Gen. Smith tl.et
troops might properly be ordered to that
place.
Returning 70 headquarters on the night
OF the 18th, Sherman reported his in
ability tc carry ont the orders of Gen.
lIallccls, whereupon he was instructed by Gen.
Smith to "disenbark his own division and
that OF Gen. Hurllut, which had also arrived
at Pittsburg Landing; TO take positions well
hack, and TO leave room for his whole army,
adding that he would soon come up in per-
son and move ont in force to make the lodg-
ment on the railroad contemplated by Gen.
Halecl." lnasmuch as the credit Of choos-
ing this landing as tho most advantageous
position that was offered, belongs TO Gen. g.
T. Smith, it may be remarked here that when
he was a commandment of the military acad-
envy at West Point, Grant and Sherman were
there as cadets.
Frequent reconnoissances now disclosed the
fact that every road and path was occupied
by the enemy's piclsets. AS early as the 10th
Sherman, accompanied by Lieut.. Col. after
ward general Mcpherson. advanced about
ten miles from the river to a piaco near
Monterey on Pea ridge, where he learned
that the trains were bringing largo masses OF
men into Corinth, and accordingly wrote to
Gen Grant: awe cannot reach the Memphis
and Charleston railroad without consider
able engagement, which is prohibited by Gen.
Hallecll's Instructions" He also reported
the he was strongly impressed with tho i'm
portance of the position, both for its land adj
vantages and strategic position. The ground
itself admits of easy defense by a small com
mand, and yet affords admirable camping
ground FOR 100000 men," These incidents
may appear insignificant, but they have an
important relation to the results.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1887-04-22
EIRST BLOWS.

The night of the 9th passed without alarm.
Only the men on picket seemed to realize that
q terrible struggle was close at hand. Even
Gen. Sherman, notwithstanding tho unrest
that had prevailed along tho front during tho
day, wrote to Gen. Grant: II do not appre-
bend anything like an attack upon our posi-
tion," and Grant on the same day dispatched
Halleck: 81 have scarcely the faintest idea of
an attack general one) being made upon us "
Gen. Halleck himself advised Buell. that he
"would leave for Corinth in the beginning of
the coming week"
Among the Confederates, however, oil was
activity. Long before the early dawn they
had breakfasted and stripped for the bloody
work Of the day. Lines were formed and
advanced and men looked into their comrades
eyes wondering whether they would meet
again around the bivouac fire or he only
some loved ones memory in dead soldiers
trench. Aroused by the hum of 10000 mon
waking up for battle, pickets were thrown
forward from the right of Gen. Prentiss'
division to ascertain the cause, a portion of
the Twenty-iifth Missouri and a little later
five companies OF the Twenty -first Missouri,
under Col. Moore, thus having the honor of
firing the first shots that rang up the curtain
on The drama of Shiloh. This detachment
struck battalion of the Third Mississippi,
Major Hardcastle, of Woods brigade, Har-
dee's corps, and the slsirmishing that ensued
quickly extended along tho front The entire
Confederate line, two miles in length, now
moved forward, tho direction being such as
to bring IL first in contact with the right of
Prentiss and the left of Sherman. "A broad
gap, more than milo in width, existed be-
tween these two points, and into this the
Confederates plunged with fury that was
overpowering. Prentiss' forces fell back in
confusion, leaving their camps in the hands
of the enemy, and several of the regiments of
Sherman's left were equally demoralized.
